2 seperate connection to public sewer(Domestic House)

magnethead

Simple square site, with the public sewer running across the front in line with the curb.
What are the chances of being allowed to connect twice (to keep runs straight and simple)
one run on each side of the house to the sewer system, otherwise, I have to connect one pipe to the other across the front of the house(not the end of the world)

Fingal county council are a great bunch of lads..:P

Cant understand any reason why you or the council would want 2 connection to the same main line.

Irish Water will not permit it for a single domestic unit. You would want a VERY good reason for it as they will see it as possible future uncontrolled connection. If by whatever reason they did, you know you will be charged twice for the connection and it is not cheap...

Thanks for the reply
I'll stick up a drawing later, but there are two runs on each side of the house, coming down towards the sewer and I just thought it would make sense to keep my shi% straight and avoid any issue, since the line, is perpendicular to the house front.

Otherwise, I will have to divert one of these straight runs 13 Meters across the face of the house to meet the other, before taking the plunge. (not the end of the world as I said)

Just off the phone to the new quango, They said they would charge double and it would need two separate applications.
one connection only, is probably the only drop-down option on their software system and they can't choose anything else ;p

But this is why sewers are laid at a gradient, allowing for the existing invert at the mains back to the furthest onsite connection. There should not an issue and the normal way it is done..

Of Course Ray, but it's always good if you minimize the changes in direction (limits AJ's for one).
I am planning on dropping some submarines into this system, and I was worried about floatability with a 1:100 fall... maybe I should eat more vEG

Or maybe all of your own shi% as you describe it, you would need no connection.

No need to be rude to folk here trying to help.
Neither is there any need to disparage IW and FCC: it shows a complete lack of personal integrity.

Hold on a second, where was I being rude to someone? I was agreeing with Ray and then taking the piss out of myself, I think you read my post wrong.

and I take issue, with your remark about 'no need to disparage FCC(and the rebranded IW section)' , yes there is, I dealt with them for 2 years!! Don't get me started ;p

2 separate connections will work out extremely expensive compared to merging both runs inside the boundary. "Usually" there'd be a manhole / IC required before the mains connection anyway. (meaning of "usually" can change from councils/people/sites etc;))

In this case its probably better to get all your sh% together than getting it straight!

magnethead

ok Brian Looks like it'll be a combination job, I was just throwing the Idea out there, since I've no experience with building yet.. Planning to start soon, Engineer is breaking my heart, dragging his feet
